1. Bitcoin ($BTC ) is hovering around ≈ US$103,000, showing modest losses.

  2. Ethereum ($ETH ) is trading around US$3,500, with relatively stable behaviour.

  3. The overall crypto-market capitalization is roughly US$3.5 trillion and showing signs of consolidation rather than clear breakout.

    While Bitcoin and Ethereum are more stable, many smaller coins (altcoins) are suffering sharper pull-backs. According to recent reporting:

Altcoins Drag & Market Sentiment

  1. Coins like AERO fell ~18 %.

  2. Others such as STRK, FET also saw double-digit declines.

  3. Market sentiment is firmly in the “fear” zone (e.g., the Fear & Greed Index is low), suggesting investors are cautious.

What this means: The market is in a holding pattern. With major tokens relatively stable and the altcoin space weaker, the overall mood is wait-and-see rather than aggressive buying.
